Bought the Gardena Comfort Spreader 500 yesterday in the garden market, because I believed, therefore a useful fertilizer spreader to purchase for our lawns, where I can close the scattered openings when stopping / turning / steering without great Verenkung. I hoped thereby to be able to rely on the Gartenprofis of GARDENA and gave it at just under 42 a little more money. The assembly was also pretty easy, except for the matter of the Bowden cable to adjust the spread rate on the bottom. I got the attitude just does not suggest that the openings in position zero closed completely and was open all at setting 10. Everything again apart and reassembled, exactly as assembly instructions (you can hardly go wrong something ...) The same problem again. After the third assembling me the matter came before funny and I have examined even more closely the mechanism with the Bowden cable. Apart from the fact that you can fix a Bowden basically clean and adjust should (here with a simple tapping screw that merely pushing the Bowden cable and permanently damaged, unfortunately nil) if the train is in my opinion simply by 1 - to long 1.5cm , I prefer the scatter opening by lever / Bowden position of zero, so this only opens from approximately position 5. So I never know exactly when and how far the holes are reared. To this end, I would have to look (at eingefülltem fertilizer) under the Gritter. I brought the Gritter back the next day and convinced the market leader in my determination. He took the items back without difficulty, but expressed surprise, because he had never had any problems with it.
In short, stay away! This thing is a bad design, in which the high price simply can not happen a company and GARDENA.
